This Week’s Moves
You know the market’s crazy when…
… Irk makes absolutely no moves in his Speculation in Play portfolio in the middle of one of the most volatile weeks of the year, so far.
Yup. Despite all the insanity going on, I didn’t make any moves in the portfolio this week; just another example highlighting the importance of making a plan in advance and sticking to it. None of my plays dropped low enough for me to buy them and none of them rose high enough to take profits.
Go figure.
One of the many benefits of making a plan in advance is how it helps me overcome the urge to force a move. You know that feeling when you’re bored in the market and you decide you’re just going to buy or sell with no real plan? Yeah. That feeling. By making a plan and forcing myself to have the discipline to stick with it, it helps me avoid making stupid mistakes.
Don’t get me wrong – I’ll still make stupid mistakes, but the strategy helps me reduce the number and frequency of stupid mistakes I make.
